Psychoeducation & neuroscience made fun

Hi! As a neuroscientist, I compress hundreds of scientific papers in dynamic practice-oriented workshops on the nature of depression, anxiety, trauma and attachment.

Participants get:
- clarity about the brain as a system
- understanding of their clients' brain in depression, anxiety and trauma
- practical tools for fast psychoeducation.

the Author

PhD in cognitive neuroscience

Described a new auditory illusion

Author of scientific papers on systems neuroscience and neurobiology of sensory perception

Speaker at international conferences

Author of "The clients's brain: Neurobiology of Depression and Trauma" course, attended by more than 1200 psychologists; co-author of a Clinical Psychology course

MATERIALS FOR CLIENTS

One practical situation - one card. Explain to your clients what happens in the brain in anhedonia, bullying, various types of anxiety and multiple other cases. Show your clients what changes after therapy to help them trust you and the process. This is helpful at the beginning of the client's journey and at certain points during the process. All the materials have links to scientific papers. Video example below.

BRAIN COPING CARDS

It is not difficult to understand the fundamentals оf the neuroscience, neurobiology of depression, anxiety and other clinical situations.

There are principles one needs to know.

There are key changes underlying the most common clinical situations. One can learn all that in my workshops.

(3) UNDERSTANDING The Brain as a system

as opposed to A SET OF FACTS

Have you been to multiple talks about the brain, but there is still a no feeling that you understand it? Are individual facts forgotten and thus the overall picture slips away?

Here we create a systematic understanding of the clockwork of the brain.

How do molecules make neurons? How do neurons form neural networks? How do neural networks fit into the global architecture of the brain? And most importantly, how is all this related to a person’s internal experiences and behavior?

Reviews by hosts

"Since I work daily in a clinic using cognitive behaviour and schematherapy, what I was looking for in this course was information to improve my understanding of what happens with trauma and depression.

In particular, what changes can be expected as a result of specific therapeutic interventions. It is very rare that one seminar can provide answers to all questions. But Ekaterina Vinnik succeeded on that.

I am grateful that on many topics, such as rumination, I became more confident in offering my clients certain strategies to decrease this process, and it was easier for me to work with clients, explaining the importance of these actions.

I think this course is unique because it provides information that can be used in the future for a deeper understanding of the processes as well as the psycho education of clients. If you are planning to level up your professional competence, to be aware of the basics of neuroscience in the context of psychotherapy, and to apply an effective scientifically proven approach in psychotherapy, then this course is for you".

"...this knowledge is necessary for practitioners - psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychotherapists who daily analyze the state of those who come to them for help and who contribute operating in a higher professional level, which minimizes mistakes that are extremely undesirable in our work".

"The lecturer's interest in the questions and topics of discussion was especially valuable, and the discussion was vivid and deep..."

"Ekaterina loves what she does and that is reflected in her work. Her expertise in neuroscience and professional presentation skills make the perfect blend. Moreover, she is meticulous about scientific details and adapted her courses to meet our team needs and goals. Our team of mental health professionals is thankful for the great courses and care of our needs."
